M&A Facts – Special Edition WindEnergy Hamburg 2020 Wind Energy Industry M&A-Highlights and Market Insights Data source: S&P Capital IQ, desktop research. Analysis by Proventis Partners. ►This brief study was drafted by Proventis Partners with the aim to provide a high-quality analysis of the wind energy industry with respect to company valuations as well as M&A activities. It includes analyses of respective peer group trading multiples and selected transactions. Wind energy is not a homogeneous industry; business models and profitability levels differ, and consequently so do valuations. This is reflected by our approach to divide the industry in four segments, reflecting individual stages of the wind energy value chain: 1) Wind Turbine Generator (“WTG”) Manufacturers, 2) Wind Turbine Component Suppliers, 3) Wind Park Developers 4) Wind Park Operation, Maintenance and Service Providers. ►Valuations of publicly-listed companies in the WTG manufacturing- and the supplier segment weakened during the first half of 2020, as the uncertainties surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic affected stock market valuations across the globe. Trading multiples of WTG manufacturers were effected stronger than other segments. However, renewable energy generation is one of the few sectors that are widely considered to emerge stronger from the crisis. Historical high valuation levels of >30x TEV/EBITDA for our European peer group of wind park developers seem to confirm this thesis. 1. Global Wind Turbine Generator Manufacturers Peer Group Note: TEV = Total Enterprise Value. LTM = Last Twelve Months. HY = Half-Year. Data source: S&P Capital IQ. In €m. Global WTG Manufacturers segment includes the leading publicly listed manufacturing companies. The overall market has shown an upward trend in last 5 years due to increasing focus on renewable energy. Valuations in this segment are highly volatile in general, and COVID-19 clearly affected valuations negatively. The 5x TEV/EBITDA drop versus HY1/2019 should be handled with care, as Nordex’ valuation in HY2/2019 was an outlier. For the time being, Vestas lost the top rank to SGRE, trading at 16.3x.

Prominent transactions include two-times sale of Senvion (fka Repower) – first to Suzlon in 2007, later to financial investor Centerbridge, who took the company public – before Senvion finally went bankrupt. Consolidation trends in the industry manifest in Nordex’ merger with Acciona Windpower in 2015, followed by Siemens’ acquisition of Gamesa in a reverse merger transaction in 2016. Just announced was Vestas’ agreement with MHI to buy out the 50% offshore JV partner MHI in exchange for 2,5% in the Vestas A/S mother company. 2. Wind Turbine Components Suppliers Peer Group Note: TEV = Total Enterprise Value. LTM = Last Twelve Months. HY = Half-Year. Data source: S&P Capital IQ. In €m While the supplier landscape is much broader than the few companies listed in our selection, only very few of the publicly listed suppliers can be considered as “dependent” on wind energy as key sales market for their products or even “pure players”.

US 90 2,546 2.7 17 Power Conversion France SAS) Many deals in this segment were recorded in the blade category; a.o., blade supplier Gurit acquired JSB Group for €70m in 2018, and, most prominent, GE “vertically integrated” by buying the leading blade supplier LM Wind Power for €1.5bn. ZF Group made their ambitions in the industry very clear by acquiring first Hansen transmission and then competitor Bosch Rexroth. With ongoing pressure on LCoE, concentration among suppliers can be expected. Though most deals so far are strategically driven, financial investors watch the sector for opportunities, e.g. Carlyle just acquired Flender from Siemens, A.P. Møller Holding, investment arm of the Maersk family, acquired KK Wind, and Verdane is pursuing a buy & build approach with merged Jupiter Bach and Polytech. 3.

    Gravity-Based Foundations in the Offshore Wind Sector

    Journal of Marine Science and Engineering Review Gravity-Based Foundations in the Offshore Wind Sector M. Dolores Esteban *, José-Santos López-Gutiérrez and Vicente Negro Research Group on Marine, Coastal and Port Environment and other Sensitive Areas, Universidad Politécnica de Madrid, E28040 Madrid, Spain; [email protected] (J.-S.L.-G.); [email protected] (V.N.) * Correspondence: [email protected] Received: 27 December 2018; Accepted: 24 January 2019; Published: 12 March 2019 Abstract: In recent years, the offshore wind industry has seen an important boost that is expected to continue in the coming years. In order for the offshore wind industry to achieve adequate development, it is essential to solve some existing uncertainties, some of which relate to foundations. These foundations are important for this type of project. As foundations represent approximately 35% of the total cost of an offshore wind project, it is essential that they receive special attention. There are different types of foundations that are used in the offshore wind industry. The most common types are steel monopiles, gravity-based structures (GBS), tripods, and jackets. However, there are some other types, such as suction caissons, tripiles, etc. For high water depths, the alternative to the previously mentioned foundations is the use of floating supports. Some offshore wind installations currently in operation have GBS-type foundations (also known as GBF: Gravity-based foundation). Although this typology has not been widely used until now, there is research that has highlighted its advantages over other types of foundation for both small and large water depth sites. There are no doubts over the importance of GBS.

    Corporate Non-Financial Reporting in Germany

    Copyright © Development International e.V., 2019 ISBN: 978-3-9820398-1-7 Authors: Chris N. Bayer, PhD Gisella Vogel Sarah Kaltenhäuser Katherine Storrs Jiahua (Java) Xu, PhD Juan Ignacio Ibañez, LL.M. Title: A New Responsibility for Sustainability: Corporate Non-Financial Reporting in Germany Date published: May 6, 2019 Funded by: iPoint-systems gmbh www.ipoint-systems.com Executive Summary Germany's economy is the fourth-largest in the world (by nominal GDP), and with 28% of the euro area market, it represents the largest economy in Europe.1 Considering the supply chains leading to its economy, Germany's cumulative environmental, social and governance performance reverberates globally. The EU Non-Financial Reporting Directive (NFRD) is the impetus behind this study – a new regulation that seeks to “increase the relevance, consistency and comparability of information disclosed by certain large undertakings and groups across the Union.”2 Large undertakings in EU member states are not only required to report on their financial basics, now they are also required by Article 1 of the Directive to account for their non- financial footprint, including adverse impacts they have on the environment and supply chains. In accordance with the Directive, the German transposition stipulates that the non-financial declaration must state which reporting framework was used to create it (or explain why no framework was applied), as well as apply non-financial key performance indicators relevant to the particular business. These requirements are our point of departure: We systematically assess the degree of non-financial transparency and performance reporting for 2017 applying an ex-post assessment framework premised on the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI), the German Sustainability Code (Deutscher Nachhaltigkeitskodex, DNK) and the United Nations Global Compact (UNGC).
  • Nordex Group Announces New N149/5.X Turbine

    Nordex Group Announces New N149/5.X Turbine

    PRESS RELEASE Entering the 5 MW class: Nordex Group announces new N149/5.X turbine Powerful addition to the Delta4000 series presented in 2017 Hamburg, 26 March 2019. The Nordex Group is extending its product portfolio with a multi-megawatt machine in the 5 MW class. After the N149/4.0-4.5 and the N133/4.8, the new N149/5.X is the third turbine type in the Delta4000 series.
